Madeira Wine Half-Day Tour

A private half-day 4x4 tour pairing genuine Madeira wine and honey cake with the island's most breathtaking views, including the spectacular viewpoint at Fajã dos Padres on the south coast.

Pair Madeira's legendary fortified wine with some of its most breathtaking views on this private half-day 4x4 tour. Climbing the narrow, steep mountain roads above Funchal, you'll reach a viewpoint over the dramatic Nuns' Valley at around 1,200 m before stopping at a traditional local bar for a glass of genuine Madeira wine and a slice of honey cake.

The tour also takes in eucalyptus forest dotted with cherry and apple trees and Fajã dos Padres — a spectacular viewpoint around 345 m above the south coast, looking down over a secluded, fertile strip of land at the foot of the cliffs and the ocean beyond.
